Using a DI718B on a computer with 2 Ethernet ports
Is there a way to get Hardware Manager to recognize directly-attached DI-718Bs when the computer has two ethernet ports? I'm trying to keep my DATAQ stuff segregated from the corporate LAN. Ideally, the setup would be:
- One Ethernet port connected to DI-718B for data acquisition.
- One Ethernet port connected to corporate LAN to access company resources.
I've tried:
- Turn off Windows Firewall service
- Disconnected all Ethernet cables
- Assign first port static IP address
- Connect Ethernet cable from computer to DI-718B.
- Run hardware manager (HM)
- HM finds DI-718B.
- Exit HM
- Set second port to DHCP
- Connect Ethernet cable from computer to corporate LAN.
- Run HM
- HM does not find DI-718B.
I've tried a couple permutations of the above, and cannot get HM to find the DI-718B.
